Here's what's going on in room 101 this week:
6th GOAL: Students learned about the class wiki today. They'll be discussing their read-aloud book on this site. They can post at school or at home, and it's a fun way to have a class discussion. We'll be finishing our physical models of the humdingers this week, and then we'll be moving on to Mock Trial... always a favorite of GOAL students!
7th GOAL: Students started their class wiki today for the read-aloud book. We'll be finishing up our poetry unit this week and moving on to a unit called Big Science: For the Sake of the Nation. We'll be debating in groups about what the next big government-backed science program should be. The space race was the focus in the 1960's. What should the focus be now?
8th GOAL: Students took their Mandarin Chinese test today. We'll finish the oral portion of the test on Tuesday, and then they'll get some time to practice keyboarding and Fast Math skills like the Critical Concepts classes have been doing.
8th Critical Concepts: We'll be continuing the Type To Learn program to work on keyboarding skills and the Fast Math program to brush up on our math facts. After this week, we'll be taking a break from these activities and getting into some MAP testing that will be completed by all the 8th grade students.
Have a great week, everyone!
